asked on

file transfer speed

Could anyone explain why transfer speed is different when I transfer a folder from an WIN2k compter to Linux? It looks faster when transfer the folder backwards.

Thanks

File system is different.

FAT or NTFS in Windows is much slower than Ext3 or Reiserfs in Linux.

You can run benchmark to proof the statement above.
